Did you know that the Date & Time Control Panel in System 7, Mac OS 8 will only let you set a Mac’s date to a range between January 1, 1920 and December 31, 2019?
Fear not, Rob Braun developed SetDate v1.1 back in 2012 to allow setting the date/time through 2042.The stock System 7 Date & Time control panel has problems with current dates. This allows manually setting the date & time through 2042 when deeper problems arise. Now with System 6 support!
BBraun's page can be found at http://web.archive.org/web/20200203215349/http://www.synack.net/~bbraun/macapps.html
Mac OS 9 does not appear to be affected by this issue.
